As an armored personnel carrier, M650 Mastodons have large troop compartments that allow them to carry heavy infantry, such as several [[Spartans]] in [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. Additionally, their protective armor shields them from most heavy weaponry. Each Mastodon is armed with an [[M41 Vulcan]] in a remotely operated weapon station, but the vehicle's primary offensive utility comes from the troops it can carry. Passengers can fire their weapons through the APC's firing ports.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} However, their size makes Mastodons difficult to deploy, and they lack the mobility of smaller troop carriers, such as the far-less protected [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog]].{{Ref/Reuse|cf}} | As an armored personnel carrier, M650 Mastodons have large troop compartments that allow them to carry heavy infantry, such as several [[Spartans]] in [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]].
